A city as dark, messy, industrial, and globalized as Midgar calls for more variety than the clean orchestral sound the remake seems to be going for imo...

I just finished the demo and my god did I have a good time with it.
This game easily beats any recently-released SE game out of the water - the action, the animations, music, the production value, cutscenes direction, the set pieces, and that boss fight...
Dear lord, do I hope the game keeps that level of quality and excitement across its entirety (which almost seems like an unreal task to me, considering how good this demo was).
The only downsides I could mention is the overabundance of hit sparks and how easy regular encounters are.
Also strangely enough I didn't have any issues with the more powerful enemies not staggering until you build the stagger bar - the combat system really accommodates that with grace considering you can react to their attacks, parry-counter them if timed correctly and so on.
Also the characters switching in this game is so fluid and fast, and the game system is built so well and natural around the characters' strengths and weaknesses. And the amount of options you have, all of which are fun to utilize.. I feel like I can talk and talk about my impressions from the demo.
Extreme hype.

So I wasnt the only one annoyed with the amount of sparks a sword-hit generates.. funny that it was also the case with Episode Duscae 1.0 before people complained.
Previews overall positive but testers are worried the game will be linear with few distractions. Tbh the trailers didnt show much variety in terms of locations, activities and all that, and apparently exploring the modern area with the skycrapers might not even happen considering it wasnt promoted (that reeks of Insomnia case 2).

Just played the demo. Pretty cool.
- Production values are through the roof. I'd hope so, after 5 years of development.
- The combat was something I really didn't get used to. It was a hybrid of FFXV and KH3. I'm sad to say I was spamming potions like an addict during the boss fight - never really got the hang of X being the menu and Square being the attack button.
- Barrett REALLY grated on my nerves. Cloud and Jessie were pretty cool.
- I did like the banter between Barrett and Cloud, though.
- Interesting how they changed the narrative even in this short section.
All in all, I'd say the demo matched my expectations for the game. I'd better get used to the combat system, or I think my time with the game will be short-lived.
